Hit: 5 Stars
The Best of Dinah Washington is a solid assortment of Dinah's work on Roulette Records and wow, is Dinah's voice ever in great form! Sure, the musical arrangements are rather similar; but I'm not sure Dinah had complete power over that. The sound quality is very good and I like the artwork, too.
"You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You" has a fine big band style arrangement; and when Dinah comes in this number really takes flight! Dinah swings brightly and her voice is like silk. Dinah's excellent diction and her fine sense of timing enhance her performance even further! "Call Me Irresponsible" features Dinah squarely front and center; she sings this ballad with panache. Dinah also injects a certain romantic quality into this number using her finely tuned voice. Wonderful! Moreover, there's also "He's My Guy" uses the strings and brass to great advantage while Dinah sings her heart out.
"For All We Know" gives us yet another romantic tune that Dinah aces easily; her voice is rich, warm and vibrant. The music that accompanies her is beautiful but it is definitely Dinah that owns the spotlight. "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby" starts with a musical flourish; and Dinah comes in to take this number straight out of the ballpark! Dinah sings "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby" beautifully; the background chorus wasn't really necessary. Dinah could have handled this all by herself; she certainly was good enough to do that.
"That Sunday (That Summer)" is a number former President Kennedy always enjoyed; and it's always been one of my favorites, too. "That Sunday (That Summer)" gets a fine interpretation from Dinah who delivers this somewhat more slowly than I'm used to--but it still holds its own very well. "Fly Me To The Moon" has a backup chorus to bolster Dinah's performance--and she sings this sweetly to make this an especially pretty number. I love it!
"Baby Won't You Please Come Home" shines when Dinah sings it to perfection--and beyond! Dinah sings this with heart and soul; and she never misses a beat, either! "Destination Moon" is equally brilliant in Dinah's capable hands; the brass sounds great and Dinah just couldn't have done this any better--it's all THAT good.
The CD ends with Dinah singing "Nobody Knows The Way I Feel This Morning." The music starts--and Dinah comes in to make this number very memorable. Nobody could have sung this quite as beautifully as Dinah did!
Dinah Washington fans will want this CD for their collections. People who enjoy classic pop vocals will also like this album.
